Ada, Aida or Alice?

[inquisitiveinga]

Our baby girl is imminent and will have a Henry as a big brother. What do you think out of Ada, Aida or Alice? I also love Delilah but that's a no from the DH!

I like Alice the best... I dislike how some people pronounce Aida as Ayda since I always heard it's EYEda. Ada is nice, but I pronounce it in romance language way.

I wouldn't know how to pronounce the first 2, so be prepared for people like me to say it wrong 🤣

My favourite would be Ada.

About the name Aida, it makes me think of the tragic opera.

I love the name Alice - one of my favourite ever names! So that’s got to be top for me!

I also really like Ada - lovely, simple and good for all ages.

Aida - I also like this, you just might get some mispronunciation- if that matters to you?

Alice, aida - love the opera, but not as a name

I like Ada, second choice Alice.

Aida is a type of cross hatched fabric used for cross stitch so it just makes me think of that.

Aida as in the opera? No one will pronounce it correctly.

There are loads of Ada/Aidas under 10 so that’s not very likely…

I think they are both a bit overdone OP, and Ada is a bit harsh, and Alice a bit wet

How about Ida or Adela?

Alice - it's a lovely timeless name.
Not that names have to match, but I think it goes well with Henry.

If DS had been a girl, he'd have been called Ada. Love the name, loved it since learning about Ada Lovelace.

I know a Henry and Alice sibling set so I vote that! Lovely traditional names, but not overdone.

Ada

Alice
Ada is ok because of Lovelace but seems too close to Ava, which I don't like.
Aida - A-eeda like the opera or Aid-a like the cloth?

Out of interest how are you pronouncing Aida?

Alice

Alice - Pretty, elegant and a timeless classic

Ada and Aida are very of the moment and will date quickly

Alice with Henry

I love Aida but only pronounced Eye-ee-da like the opera.

Alice is my favourite. I would pronounce Aida "Eye-ee-da" because of the opera, until corrected.
Ada reminds me of the Peaky Blinders character.

For no good reason I do t like Alice, find it quite spiky.

Ada is beautiful.

Alice or Ada
Aida isn’t nice looking

Ada.
Alice second choice.
it’s a no on Aida from me.

Alice goes with Henry but for some unknown reason I find it a bit of a "meh" name. I don't dislike it, I feel nothing about it! It's the right type of name for your sibling pair though. Maybe similar ilk but different.... Eliza?

My friend has an Aida.. but pronounces it A-da. I think Ada is much prettier written down.

Ada is an old woman name, and not in a good way.

Aida is a bit odd, and it’s not obvious how it should be pronounced.

Alice is a lovely, classic name.
